This Land Rover Series I is a characterful classic 4x4, which benefits from a sympathetic restoration. Under the bonnet is a 2.0-litre inline-four, delivering around 39kW to all four wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. This example is reported to have had only four owners from new. The odometer indicates 41,090 miles, though this is not warranted. This Series I is finished in the classic Land Rover hue of Deep Bronze Green, offset by a cream roof and side panels, and its purposeful cabin is home to three green vinyl-trimmed seats. It rides on a set of body-coloured steel wheels, which are fitted with MRF tyres. Equipment includes rubber floormats, Lucas headlights, and a simple dashboard which displays the speedometer, petrol gauge, ammeter, and water and oil temperatures. The spare wheel accompanies the sale. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess exterior and interior condition. There is a conditional NSW registration in place, which expires on 12 March 2025. The seller reports that this is non-transferrable. This Series I was last serviced in April 2024 at an indicated 41,090 miles. This example has undergone a restoration process, which included fitting ‘new old stock’ or second-hand parts where possible, and retaining many original components. As part of this process, the bodywork was resprayed, new seats were installed, and the chassis, engine, gearbox, and axles were overhauled. This Land Rover Series I 86” is a desirable classic 4x4, celebrated for its legendary off-roading abilities and for creating the blueprint from which subsequent off-roaders are based. Treated to a cosmetic and mechanical overhaul and reported by the seller and reported to run and drive well, it would make an excellent addition to a wider assembly of British classics, as well as a faithful companion for year-round weekend adventures or even daily driving duties.
